Gynecologist, twin brother sued for sexual
misconduct

A former King County woman and her 8-year-old son
have sued local gynecologist Charles Momah and his twin
brother, Dennis Momah, saying that both men engaged in
improper sexual behavior toward her.

The King County Superior Court civil
suit, filed late last week, contends that Dennis Momah,
a general practitioner, posed as his brother during
some of the visits from Darla Harper -- and one visit from her son, during
which he allegedly mutilated the boy's genitals during
a botched circumcision. Harper has recently
moved to California, according to her attorney, Seattle
lawyer Harish Bharti.

In February, Bharti filed suit against both men on
behalf of seven other women making similar claims of
sexual harassment and assault. He has filed more than
50 suits against Charles Momah since September
2003.

In September, Charles Momah, who ran gynecological
clinics in Burien and Federal Way, pleaded not guilty
to charges of rape, indecent liberties and insurance
fraud.

Neither of the Momahs' attorneys could be reached
for comment yesterday.
